What could be better than eating a pogacsa, a traditional Hungarian biscuit, in the town where your ancestors came from? That's probably what William A. Sarko of Saylorsburg was thinking when he posed with some local residents for this photo in Polgar, Hungary, where his grandparents were born and raised. They emigrated to America in 1913 and, Sarko believes, he is the first of his family to visit their hometown in more than 90 years.
